Washoe Meadows + Taylor Creek + Emerald Bay

This is a three part hike where you may choose to leave at any point.

We'll start at Washoe Meadows State Park at noon. No parking lot, but there's some room to park along Lake Tahoe Boulevard near Tahoe Mountain Road. ~5 mile flat semi-loop trail through the park.

Next, a stop at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center (free parking) to see the stream profile chamber, lake, and Pope and Tallac estates (flat, 3-4 miles).

Finally we'll go to Emerald Bay State Park Lookout ($3 an hour if you don't have a pass) for the 1.7 mile Vikingsholm trail (somewhat steep).
